Application August 12, 1943, Serial No. 498,393

Claims. (Cl.129-20) An object of the present invention is to provide such a mount preferably'consisting of two parts, each preferably provided in part with an adhesive coating for ready attachment to the sheet to be mounted or to the base sheet.

Another object is to provide such a mount consisting of a first member including attaching means and a second member comprising a keeper to receive said attaching means. f

Another object is to so construct the first member that it may be so folded that its attaching means will readily enter the keeper member but when permitted to resume its normal position the attaching means will be firmly and reliably interengaged with the keeper member.

Further objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from consideration of the specification as illustrated by the accompanying drawing of an illustrative embodiment of the invention, in which drawing; I

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a book showing an inserted leaf mounted therein by means of a mount embodying the invention;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view'similar to Fig, 1, but showing the inserted sheet with the first mount member attached. thereto bent in such a way that the attaching hooks thereof may be entered into the loops of the keeper;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a preferred form of the keeper; and

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a preferred form of the attaching member.

Referring to said drawing, the reference numeral l I denotes a base sheet,such as a page of a printed book or album, to which a sheet is to be attached. l2 and i3 designate generally a keeper and an attaching member, respectively, made in accordance with the invention. The keeper [2 may be formed of a base layer In of paper, filled cloth, or other suitable material, the

bottom face of which is covered with adhesive for attachment to the base sheet ll, such as the leaf of a book or album, and a top layer I2b, the

latter being preferably so bent as to form loops I20 and i211. The other parts of the top layer I 2e, l2), and I29, are, as shown, depressed into engagement with the base layer [2a and preferably glued thereto. In this way loops are formed which are normally open to receive the attaching member l3 and which are unusually strong because they are glued to the base layer |2a at points adjacent to the loops.

The attaching member I3, as shown, consists oi. a longitudinally extending body portion 13a,

one side of which is preferably coated with adhesive material and adapted. for attachment to the sheet to be mounted. Attached to the body portion l3a are two arms I and Mid preferably extending substantially at right angles to the body portion I3, and provided at their ends with hooks 13c and l3d', respectively.

' In the use of this improved mount, the keeper member I2 is preferably glued to the base sheet, such as the sheet H of a book, and the attaching member 13 is similarly glued to the edge of member lSa and thesheet I4 is folded as shown in Fig. 2. thus bringing the hooks 13c and l3d' toward each other to a position where theymay be'slipped through the loops I20 and l2d. Upon permitting the sheet II to resume a substantially plane position, the hooks I30 and, l3d' will spread and firmly engage behind the loops I20 and l2d, respectively, thus firml attaching the inserted sheet M to the base sheet II. The sheet [4 is now preferablyfolded down-against the sheet I I, thus providing a firmly but detachably-mounted inserted sheet which can be used, for example,

for receiving notes relating to the printed material'in the book. If errors are madein the notes or the notes are to be rewritten, it is a simple matter to remove the sheet M by reversing the process, via, partly foldingthe sheet H, as in Fig. 2, and then withdrawing the hooks from the keeper. Thus, the sheets may be readily changed while at the same time assuring that the inserted sheet is firmly held in place at all times and cannot become accidentally detached.

One form of the invention has been illustrated and described in detail for the purpose of illustration, but it will be obvious that many variations may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, instead of forming the two loops I20 and [2d, a single continuous loop may be used, or a slit in the inserted sheet may receive the hooks, in which case the member l2 may be dispensed with. Furthermore, instead of having the hooks extending outwardly and away from each other they might be formed to extend inwardly toward each other.- In that event, insertion of the hooks into the loops would be accomplished by bending the sheet I 4 in the opposite direction to that shown in Fig. 2.

The constructions specifically disclosed are intended merely as illustrative of the invention and not as limiting as various other modifications may be made without departing from the invention'as defined by a proper interpretation of the claims which follow.

I claim:

1. A mount for detachably attaching sheets, photographs, or the like to a base sheet, comprising an attaching member adapted to be attached by adhesive or the like to one of said sheets, said attaching member being formed with two substantially parallel arms having oppositely extending hook portions, and a keeper adapted for attachment to the base sheet provided with loops for receiving and retaining said hooks.

2. A mount for detachably attaching sheets,

photographs, or the like to a base sheet, comprising an attachingmember adapted to be attached by'adhesive or the like to one of said sheets, said attaching member being formed with two substantially parallel arms having oppositely extending hook portions, and a keeper adapted for attachment to the base sheet, provided with loops for receiving and retaining saidhooks, said keeper being formed of a base strip and a cover strip, the cover strip being attached to said base strip at its ends and nearits center, so that said loops are formed between those parts of said basestrip and cover'strip'which are attached to each other.

3. A mount for detachably attaching sheets,

prising an attaching member adapted to be at-.

tached by adhesive or the like to one of said sheets, said attaching member being formed with two substantially parallel arms having outwardly extending hook portions, said hook portions being bent substantially at right angles to said arms, and a keeper adapted for attachment to the base sheet provided with at least one loop for receiving and retaining said hooks.

5. A mount for detachably attaching sheets, photographs, or the like to a base sheet, comprising an attaching member adapted to be attached by adhesive or the like to one .of said sheets, said attaching member being formed with two substantially parallel arms having oppositely extending hook portions, and a keeper adapted for attachment to the base sheet, provided with at least one loop for receiving and retaining said hooks, said keeper being formed of a .base strip and .a cover strip, the cover strip being attached to said has strip at its ends.
